Lucy Jones is a medical herbalist with a busy high street practice in Somerset, UK. She grows or gathers the majority of the hers that she works with and is a passionate proponent of self-sufficient herbalism. Prior to qualifying in western herbalism, she studied Tibetan Medicine with the great master, Khenpo Troru Tsenam. This experience deeply influences her approach to therapeutic practice as well as the way that she grows and processes her herbs. She was originally trained in Agriculture and Forestry and has two degrees from the University of Oxford.
Lucy Jones is the author of “Self Sufficient Herbalism” (published by Aeon Books), the first ever practical guide to the growing, gathering, and preserving of medicinal herbs for a working dispensary. Written by a practicing herbalist with a high street clinic, it covers everything you need to know to become truly self-sufficient in creating and dispensing your own herbal medicine. Relying on only a small allotment and access to the fields and woodlands of rural England, Lucy Jones provides a masterclass in the wild crafting, growing, harvesting, drying, storage, and processing of medicinal herbs. Her passion for the plants and traditional ways of preserving them for medicine shines through as she explores the deeper implications of self-sufficiency and the transformative impact it has had on her practice. The guide includes a glossary of detailed notes on the cultivation, harvesting, and processing of 108 individual herbs arranged by the seasons. It is a must read for practicing herbalists, herbal students, herb gardeners, and all those who love herbs.
